Dateline: New Avalon Pressure is already mounting in the Davion capitol calling for the replacement of Marshal Eugene Drivers, commander of the 4th Deneb RCT and supreme commander of the Aldebaran Assault Force now fighting for control of that strategic planet in Liao space. Drivers reportedly changed long-standing invasion plans at the last minute, electing to divide his assault force between the two major continents "The man is an idiot," said Field Marshal Roger Cuthbridge, of Prince Hanse Davion's Military Advisory Board. "Good Lord! He gets solid intel that the enemy has divided his forces, that he could win overwhelming local superiority and what does he do? He divides his forces and goes after them both! I've already recommended we yank that bozo and replace him with someone who knows a modicum of military strategy. We could have had a swift, clean victory on Aldebaran, and Drivers has guaranteed us a long, bloody slug fest. He ought to be court martialed." A high-ranking officer at New Avalon agreed to talk to a reporter for BattleTechnology on condition that his name and rank not be used. "Let's wait and see," the source said. "The battle out there isn't over yet. If Drivers wins, he'll be justified. If not well, I know Gene Drivers. I doubt that he'll live to face his court martial board."
